Questioning the relevance of nat’l awakening today
Ariel Heryanto
On Tuesday, Indonesia celebrated the 100th anniversary of its “national awakening”, commemorating the founding of Boedi Oetomo in 1908. This is officially considered to be the first modern “Indonesian” organization, but this is also highly contentious.

Professor Emeritus George Grace (Linguistics, the University of Hawaii) dedicated a lengthy section of his personal website to a series of scholarly discussion on my work under the heading “Thoughts On Reading Heryanto”.

from the post ‘Asian men in media’: . . . the instances in the media in which an Asian man is shown dating, marrying, or […]
Paperback Edition of State Terrorism and Political Identity in Indonesia; Fatally Belonging
March 31, 2008 – 9:30 am
